SPAN 307 - LATIN AMERICAN CULTURE AND SOCIETY

This writing-intensive course entirely conducted in Spanish, is an exploration of key periods, events, actors, and interpreters of Latin American cultural and political history since the late 15th century. The first half of the course will be devoted to the three centuries of Spanish colonial rule in Latin America while the second half will focus on the wars for independence in the early 19th century and the postcolonial period. Throughout the course we will study the contributions of diverse Amerindian, European, African, and Asian peoples to the making of Latin American society. Class presentations and discussions will be based on representative works from Latin America and Latin American diasporas in the areas of literature, music, film, and the visual arts. This course has been designed for students who have completed the intermediate year of Spanish or higher.
